My officemate N brought some empanadas for snack this afternoon and we all liked it. Thought I'd share about the pastry on this blog so more people will know about it. The brand is Empanada Avenue and it has several branches all over the metro. Dubbed as "the original empanada of Bulacan," it's one yummy snack that can easily be one's favorite.

Each box has 12 pieces of medium-sized chicken empanadas. Each empanada retails for P10.

The empanada I happened to munch on was still warm to the touch, soft and generously-stuffed. It was slightly greasy (but that's a given with any kind of deep-fried food!) but very tasty. Aside from the chicken chunks and carrot bits, I think I saw some bits of hard-boiled egg inside which gave the empanada added flavor and character, I must say.

Since I'm trying to lose weight, I think I'd love to have this chicken empanada from Empanada Avenue once in a while because it can be quite addicting. :)
